Naturelich

Germany has voted. Stalemate draw. The country is intolerably resistant against reforms. F*** us! Now, the country has fallen into chaotic discussions. Normally, we only see this on soap opera TV: Who falls in love with whom?
Merkel and Schröder? Maybe not. Angie and Müntefering? Regicide. Schröder and Westerwelle. Definitely no. Stoplight coalition. Not an option for Westerwelle who got at least half the votes from Christian-Democrats. My projection (but not my favorite) is the Jamaica coalitiion.

I know it's politically dangerous to have your coming out early, so I am playing high risk here. But all other options except a great coalition are politically impossible, in my opinion. What's worse: I cannot believe that a coalition between CDU and SPD will be beneficial for the country.

Stillstand.

I believe the Green party, FDP and CDU/CSU will have to digest this and need to come up with a solution. Current Foreign Minister, Joschka Fischer - the grey eminence of the Green party - is currently making jokes about this option and has already announced to be not available for this coalition. And actually that's great news, because the Liberal Democrats have a traditional claim for his current post. Fischer is very respected as Foreign Minister - but if that's what it takes to generate something good from this election - so be it!

This solves many problems:

• The Green party can ensure that nuclear power plants will be turned off in the next 30 years to come


• The CDU will get rid of media chancellor Schröder, who has been very difficult to beat. Can anyone spot a decent successor?


• The FDP gets to govern with the CDU and gets some strategic minister posts (as they are the bigger partner, the Foreign minister post falls to them)


• Stoiber can stay in Bavaria and continue to play games against Merkel


• Jamaica coalition precedence exists in Bad Dürkheim

I am certain there are more pros and there are certainly even more cons. But anything is better than Angie's and Schrödie's party together. Naturelich a NO!
